AVI Leather D-1 size Medium
Received this earlier today, just in time for Xmas!! This is one hellofajacket!
Oozes quality and fits perfectly. This is so comfortable and easy to wear.
I have a T-shirt under, it's around 5 to 6 degrees out and Im fine. Consider my sheepskin curiosity satiated! I need no other!
Will do a review in due course.

Perfect fit Brett. Any adjustments made to the sleeve length?

I know there's no historical accuracy with Avi's B-3A, but something keeps drawing me back to it...as does their M-445A. Someone tell Mortene that I'll gladly review one or both for him...lol.

Funny you should ask.
After the B-6, I spent too much time trying to work out dims and measurements, comparing the B-6 to D-1.
In the end, went with a Medium, and requested an extra 1cm to sleeves and body.
Result = perfect fit, even lifting arms or sitting. I think a regular Medium would have worked just as well, but that little extra makes a diff to me.

Edit: The measurements on AVI's website, are pretty accurate.

Your calculations definitely paid off. You couldn't improve on that fit.

On a separate note, does it look like the zipper pulls can be easily replaced on the pockets or is there too limited of space to remove/ install the pull once the stop is removed?

I think its possible, with deft hands/ fingers/ tools.
Space is limited.
I'll try and take some pics soon. Working through the hols mostly, but should be quieter.
